Phase 1 Review Deadline Extended to Novemer 30

As
reported on the LibNews and Collier Library Weeding
blogs on November 1, we have been experiencing intermittent problems with the
online candidate lists for our ongoing weeding project. We have been unable to
isolate the cause of the problem, but it is currently under investigation.

Because
of the difficulties with the online lists, we are extending Phase 1 (LC
Class P) review through November 30. Please complete your review
of Phase 1 (in-person or online) by this date.

As you work with the online lists, we recommend that you use
Chrome or Firefox. The ongoing problems seem to be most frequently encountered
by those using Internet Explorer. When reviewing the candidate lists, please
make sure that you click the “Save” button at the top left side of the screen
before exiting the page. After your recommendations have been successfully
saved, you should briefly see a “Your input has been saved” message at the top
of the screen. Please be patient when saving changes, especially for lists that
have a large number of items. Some users have reported receiving an
“unresponsive page” error with Chrome. However, those that choose the “wait”
option report that their changes do save successfully.
